Personal Statement
As I approach my collegiate career, I find myself anxiously looking towards the future and all the experiences college has to offer. I want to continue to grow as a player and as a student. After many years as a student athlete, competition in the classroom and on the court has become my passion. I love being part of a team, growing together, pushing each other further and achieving success together. That was never more apparent to me than in these last two seasons of my high school career where we captured the Texas 4A state championship and finished as a semifinalist in the Texas 6A state championship. As a six rotation player I have learned to be a leader on the court at all times, no matter the position or situation. I train continuously year round to improve my skills and talent, to challenge myself to be better than I was the day before. During my college career I know that my abilities as an athlete and my skills as a student will be put to the test. When off the court I am looking to concentrate my academics in the field of medicine or business. I can only sum up my character by saying that being a good student has only made me a better athlete and being a good athlete has made me an even better student. I love playing volleyball for all the things it has taught me about teamwork, discipline and perseverance. I also love the rush of being on the court and celebrating with your teammates after a great point. I can't imagine continuing my academic career without playing volleyball, because for me the two have always been a part of who I am.
